Question

brad took 5 kicks and made 4 goals: 4/5. Sydney will take 10 shots and she wants to make an equivalent fraction of the goals. how many goals must she make?

Answer 1

She must make 8 goals

Answer 2

Brad took 5 kicks and made 4 goals: 4/5.

This means denominator is total kicks and numerator is number of goals.

Now for Sydney total shots are 10.

so we have to find equivalent fraction of 4/5 with denominator as 10.

If we multiply denominator 5 by 2 we get denominator as 10.

So that means we have to multiply the fraction 4/5 with 2/2

$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{4*2}{5*2}$

This gives us 8/10 as equivalent fraction of 4/5.

Numerator represents goals.

Answer : Sydney must take 8 goals.
